That was the first one I drank this evening. Beautiful stuff. So fruity. Reminded me of honeysuckle or something. Can't manage much more than a can at that ABV.

Yep, fruity and bitter, you definitely taste the strength.

BD box arrived yesterday. Started with some IPAs finished on some sours. #csb

Abbeydale order arrived yesterday nicely in time for the weekend. They threw in an extra mini keg for me

Time to crack open some Brew York. Looking forward to the Empress Tonkoko.

Drank the Marston's Horninglow no. 1 IPA I had in the cupboard. I liked it - it had obviously mellowed enough that it was smooth and fruity rather than massively hoppy, with a boozy kick to the aftertaste. If I came across a bottle again I'd probably go for it.

3 Fonteinen, while getting battered at chess.

How the hell has black lost all the pieces when white hasn't even moved a pawn?

Got fired into this tonight. My wife gave it me for Christmas two years ago, been too scared to crack open a 750ml bottle of 12% stout until the current situation. Silver linings and all that. It’s delicious. Will finish tomorrow.

Probably covered up thread, but Five Points are still dispatching orders, HERES20 gives 20% off, free delivery over £50.

48 cans en route 😳

Tonight’s episode. Very hoppy and very light.

Such good beer. Got my order in last week, went and picked it up and they were super thankful

I guess I'm more out of practice than I realised haha

The Cloudwater x Salt beer in the blue cans here (full name is Is There Room in the Budget For a Sportscar) is the most interesting beer I’ve had in a while.

It’s malty in a way I’ve not really experienced before. Malt usually dominates beers in my experience but this one really lets the fruit shine through. Massive depth of flavour. Forgot to take a pic of it in the glass but it’s the hue of a best bitter.

It smells quite rancid when you get your nose right in the glass. Rotting fruit and cheese. That’s not reflected in the taste though. Lovely stuff.

That's a decent deal, just ordered 36 cans myself, thanks for the heads with the code!

Good right!? ~£1.40 a can is a deal. Good to support a local brewer, especially when XPA and Jupa are probably my fave beers.

Thomas De Gendt is doing it right
